It's Friday at 5 PM. The post is running a fish fry fundraiser, but only half the usual crowd shows up. Turns out the flyer on the bulletin board listed last month's date, and nobody caught the mistake until the cook was already prepping fifty plates.
The Memorial Day ceremony time changed from 10 AM to 9 AM to beat the heat, but the post commander only announced it at last week's meeting. The members who weren't there showed up an hour late and missed the wreath-laying.
The post adjutant is tired of answering the same questions every week: "Is there bingo this Thursday?" "When is the next steak night?" "What time is the meeting?" He printed a schedule and taped it by the bar, but half the members only come once a month and never see it.

Here's what VFW posts typically put on their shared calendar:
What this looks like in practice
Frank, the post commander, opens iCalFeed on Monday morning. He adds the Veterans Day ceremony, updates Friday's fish fry menu in the event description, and posts the auxiliary meeting for next Tuesday. Total time: three minutes.
Ray, a retired Army sergeant and post member, checks his phone on Wednesday. He sees "Friday Fish Fry — 5 to 8 PM, Post Hall, Catfish & Hush Puppies $12" on his calendar between his VA appointment and his grandson's basketball game. He tells his wife they're going.
On Thursday, the post learns the city is closing the street for a parade on Saturday, so the poppy drive needs to move one block east. Frank edits the event location in the dashboard. By Friday, every member volunteering sees the new corner on their phone. No calls to track down volunteers.
How iCalFeed compares
vs. Bulletin board at the post
Only works if members come to the post regularly. Many only visit once a month.
Events are on their phone whether they visit the post or not.
vs. Phone calls from the adjutant
Takes hours to call the membership list. Half don't answer.
Update once and every phone gets the info automatically.
vs. Post newsletter
Monthly newsletter has stale info by the second week. Printing and mailing costs add up.
Events are always current and synced. No printing costs.
vs. Facebook page
Many older veterans aren't on Facebook. Posts get lost in the news feed.
Works with their phone calendar — no social media account needed.
